Familiarity with spreadsheet programs is an increasingly obligatory prerequisite for any office job, As is the creation, maintenance, and effective interpretation of spreadsheets and their data. Spreadsheets are an essential professional and academic asset and a useful personal tool. This book tells readers everything they need to know to get started creating spreadsheets for various tasks and utilities; plugging in relevant data; maintaining, updating, and revising the spreadsheet; and drawing accurate conclusions from the processed data. With step-by-step instructions for various standard tasks, this book makes working with spreadsheets both fun and easy.

This second edition is a must-read for today's mathematics teachers offering research-based strategies and best practices that are critical and highly effective in mathematics instruction. This invaluable resource provides practical suggestions, resources, and templates to support the areas of classroom management, instructional planning, content and practice standard implementation, assessment, and differentiation, as well as methods to build students' conceptual understanding. It also guides teachers in using the Professional Learning Community model effectively in order to support professional growth and student achievement. With a focus on student thinking and learning, this book is an essential guide for all educators.

Each unit in the "New Abacus" programme begins with whole-class teaching. All the direct teaching to introduce a concept is on the front of the Teacher Card; the back has: further teaching; references to differentiated practical activities, workbook or textbook pages and photocopy masters.

This manuscript contains various approaches in interpreting data and how the unearthed pieces of information be used as practical inputs for decision making. With the aid of Microsoft Excel, presented in a step-by-step manner, data sets that differ in kind, probability, and distributions are analyzed and interpreted with a framework of solidifying fundamental understanding of data analysis and of carrying through these skills in the daily administration of decisions in managing production, people, money, and all forms of resources. This book hopes to complement with the other existing books in research and statistics that prefer to treat problems manually and explain applications theoretically. Students doing basic high school research will benefit from this book. College and graduate students who are doing a classroom research activity will also take full advantage of this. However, some novice researchers and professionals may find this manuscript equally useful; and those others who decided to dislike mathematics but found awe in it nonetheless. This book is really for them.
